Zephiros Origin and Meaning

The name Zephiros is a boy's name.

Zephiros is a masculine name derived from ancient Greek mythology, where Zephyros (also spelled Zephyrus) was the god of the west wind, considered the gentlest of the wind deities. The name literally means 'west wind' in Greek and carries connotations of springtime, as Zephyros was thought to bring the spring breezes. This poetic and mythological name remains quite rare in modern usage but offers powerful symbolic associations with nature, gentleness, and renewal. The name has a distinctly Greek sound with its '-os' ending, making it appeal to parents interested in Hellenic culture or mythology. Its unusual quality gives a child a name that stands out while still having authentic historical roots.
